Are you suffering from hypertension? And as if this were not enough, the increase in blood pressure is accompanied by a series of unpleasant symptoms: headache, dizziness, tinnitus, and then insomnia, decreased performance and emotional exhaustion.
To lower your blood pressure, you probably take antihypertensive drugs, or treat yourself with popular methods and use diets and other types of pressure-lowering plans, which is not bad.
However, on the other hand, Asian doctors say: “Adequate and regular acupressure will help those who want to prevent hypertension and those who have been suffering from it for more than a year.»
How this technique can help reduce blood pressure?
Acupressure is a fancy term referring to acupressure, during which the fingers gently and persistently act on certain biologically active points.
Until recently, the treatment and prevention of diseases through pressure on such points was considered only a method to eliminate symptoms, but today the opinions on acupressure have changed dramatically.
It has been scientifically proven that systematic acupressure helps not only with hypertension, migraines or insomnia, but is also an effective component of complex treatment of acute rhinitis and bronchitis, hypotension, and is even used as a method of treating potency problems in men.
How to perform acupressure?
Before the procedure, warm your hands well, eat (preferably 40 minutes before the session) and be sure to measure the pressure: if it is too high, do acupressure for no more than 15 minutes. With strict observance of the technique, after an acupressure session, you feel warmth and pleasant pains, which persist for 20-30 minutes.
